Simmons even referenced Affleck in his pre-Super Bowl column. "I always wanted to root for an NFL team that behaves like Ben Affleck during the first 75 minutes of Gone Girl," Simmons said in response to a reader question about the Patriots' reaction to Deflategate. "It’s a dream come true."

Hopefully he didn't spend the whole night comparing the game to his friends' movies.

Oh, and that's PTI co-host Tony Kornheiser hanging out in the background. He didn't get invited into the picture because he's from Long Island.
